Round one of the QMMF Sprint Championship is on this weekend(Friday 21 January) in the parking area at Lusail Circuit. All cars can race and previous racing experience is not necessary. If you ever wanted to race your car in a safe and professional environment, this is your chance!

Hurry as tomorrow is the last day for registration. For more info, call the Qatar Motorsports Federation:

Sprint racing (or "Autocross" as it is known elsewhere in the world) is a safe, entry-level form of motorsport where cars race one-by-one around a short circuit made from traffic cones. It is safe, affordable and perfect for anyone wanting to race their car in a legal and controlled environment. All types of cars are welcome.

Street racing is dangerous and illegal! Take your car to an organised motorsport event where it is safe and legal to race your car.

New businesses are cropping up along the Cambie corridor like the proverbial morels after the forest fire and not all of them are big box retailers. There are a number of new, small to mid-sized restaurants too, and they are all adding to the Cambie community. Take Stella's on Cambie for example

I didn't make it.. The fake air scoop came off and hit the windscreen dislodging the single wiper which hit the car behind causing him to lose control and crash :O(

just want to add about the classifications, it will be based on engine size and modifications.

any car will do (automatic or manual) as long your car have a proper fire extinguisher, clean engine bay (no oil leak), battery properly mounted, helmet, fire proof coverall and the car itself!
